The judges were outwardly upset to see the pair leave Dancing With The Stars.Â Len said that he was heartbroken and Carrie went on to say how disappointed she was.â€œIâ€™m pretty bummed,â€ a tearful Natalie said after her elimination. â€œYou canâ€™t prepare for it,â€ Natalie said. â€œIâ€™ll survive but itâ€™s not life or death.â€

Later on, Natalie spoke with People.com and said, â€œI enjoyed the entire process. I enjoyed making good friendships along the way. I enjoyed the training. Itâ€™s been wonderful.â€Â â€œWe get along really well,â€ said her partner, Mazo. â€œI made a very good friend and I hope we get to see each other again.â€

While they were there, People also spoke to fellow contestant Kelly Osbourne.Â â€œYou get so close to everyone,â€ Kelly said. â€œAnd after, I thought, â€˜It shouldnâ€™t have been Natalie.â€™ And then I thought, â€˜Who should it have been?â€™ I couldnâ€™t pick anyone on that stage. Itâ€™s harder and harder every week.â€
